  • How many people can participate?
    - There will be a maximum of 40 skaters. We are aware of our organisation ’s limits and this size seems reasonable to us. Also, 40 people is not too big, so everybody can get to know each other and not too small so we can do level groups to allow everybody to go at their own rhythm.

    - If you are really to slow you will be considered as a "Boulet"(drag) , so start to train to go faster right now ! But don’t worry, we act as a group, we won’t let any body down. There will be several groups with several speeds, you will find one adapted to you.
